As a bonus, using rubber gloves will ensure that no product gets onto the palms of your hands, so you won’t have to worry about all the issues with uneven tanner on your elbows, ankles, hands, and feet. 3. Plastic Wrap Once you are through, wash your hands immediately. The best way is through rough exfoliators, such as sand or sugar scrubs. Make sure to rub it as vigorously as possible before the tanner even has time to settle in, and the chances of having tanner on your hands will be low. If you use your hand directly, you can either live with tanner on your palm, or try to exfoliate your hand immediately after tanning. Can You Put Self Tanner On Without Shaving?

One benefit of using rubber gloves( We like this one) is that they do not absorb the tanning product you are using, and that allows you to get the maximum benefits from the product. You can, although it’s best to shave beforehand if possible. Shaving helps exfoliate the skin, which leaves it supple and ready for the self tanner. Ideally, you’d shave the day before to give any small cuts you get time to heal. Should You Wash Your Self Tan Mitt? When using a wash cloth, try to keep the cloth as smooth as possible when applying the fake tan. Don’t bunch up the cloth, you’ll end up with a streaky tan. 7. Your Hands While alternate options can’t necessarily guarantee as even or as perfect of a spread as a high-quality tanning mitt, they can still do a pretty good job if push comes to shove.This being said, if you have relatively ~chill~ skin (i.e., you have none of the conditions above), you can try using an exfoliating glove on your body once a week. Yes, just once a week. Even if you don’t have sensitive skin, over-exfoliating can still cause irritation, dryness, inflammation, and even rashes, says Dr. Lal. So if you're someone who has a bad habit of going overboard with skincare, store your mitt or glove in another room so you're not tempted to use it every time you're in the shower. Be realistic about how often you’ll clean them Be sure you fully prep your body before you apply a self-tanner. This will ensure your tan goes on as smoothly as possible. Like the method of using your hands, you will need to wash your hands very well immediately afterward to avoid the problem of discoloration. When applying a self-tanner, work in circles around your body, as opposed to moving in a straight line. By moving your hand in overlapping circles, you’ll end up with a nice smooth, streak-free tan.

Regardless of the specific method, you use to apply your self-tanner, you can do it according to your preferences. Self-tanning mitts are the best course of action, but the tips above will still give you the same results as long as you use them well. just keep in mind that you will need to practice for quite a bit before you get it right – but as long as you prepare your skin well, choose a product that works well for your skin, and apply it as evenly as possible, the results will look amazing. Believe it or not, rubber gloves are a tried and true favorite for many people. Some even prefer them to a normal tanning mitt. Since rubber gloves have separate finger holes, they make it easier to apply the tanner to places that require more detail,achieving a more even tan overall. The truth is that the method you use to apply the self-tanner is not the major issue here, as it depends on your preferences. Instead, the results you eventually get will depend on the preparation before and the aftercare you use after getting your results – it will make a world of difference when you do it correctly. This could potentially be avoided by washing your hands and using a coarse tanning exfoliator right away, you’ll just have to be sure to do this right away so the tanner doesn’t have much time to sit on your hands. This sounds very strange when you first hear it (yes, we thought it was weird too), but it is one of the underrated methods of applying self-tanners – it works much better than you might think. You just need to take some simple cling film wrap, wrap film around your hand completely, and you instantly have a tanning mitt.While it may sound a little hectic, applying self-tanner with your bare hands is something many people start out doing. It’s a decent option and allows for a more detailed application, but there are downsides. Just be prepared to have some odd-looking streaks on your hands, especially if you’re not using a rubber glove to protect your hands. Reminder: You absolutely should not be using an exfoliating glove if you have sensitive skin or inflammatory skin conditions (like psoriasis, eczema, or active cystic acne) since the abrasive material can trigger even more inflammation and flare-ups. Exfoliating gloves should also not be used on your face or on skin that’s covered in acne, folliculitis, or cuts, says dermatologist Karan Lal, MD, because they can easily spread bacteria and/or result in infection. Many people have discovered that while the traditional mitt is great, there are other options that they find to be even better! If you try to use a barrier cream on your hand, then use it to apply tanner to your body, you’ll also be applying barrier cream to your body too! This may result in a streaky tan.
